Flight stand clips for Swiftwind, Battle Cat, Panthor?

You can do some amazing things with the flight stands Matty offers on its Web site. You can display MOTUC figures flying (BuzzOff, 200x Zodac, etc.) or create other effects such as Webstor propelling downward, Beastman leaping forward (or being knocked backward by a powerful punch!), or Mer-Man swimming and exploring the depths of your display case, bookshelf or computer desk.
The flight stands come with three clips, each larger than the last, to give you versatility in the number of figures you can use these with. But what about Battle Cat, Panthor, Swiftwind and other beasts? I personally would like to display Battle Cat leaping, or Swiftwind flying in the air.
Therefore, I recommend we make a strong suggestion to Mattel to include beast-sized flight clips with Panthor and Swiftwind, and future releases of Battle Cat and other "beast" MOTUC products. Either this or offer the clips as a separate product on its site. This would be a benefit not only to the customer but also to the company, as it would provide an added value to the product, as well as an incentive for consumers to go online and purchase their own flight stands.

Interesting use of an alternate form of flight stand, although it looks like you're using three stands instead of the one. A good point was brought up, it does seem that to an extent the stands are able to suffice in terms of displaying our figures. They could be enhanced by a beast flight stand clip, but we'll see how well Swiftwind is held up by them. Unfortunately due to the copyrights involved I don't believe Spymonkey will be able to come to the rescue in this instance.

Matty responded to the flight stand clip suggestion!4.) Is it possible that we may see beast-sized flight stand clips in the future for Battle Cat, Panthor, Swiftwind, etc?

Not very likely. The Beasts many times are the “stand” for the figure. If there is enough demand from fans we can look into this, but no plans in the works now.

What do you say? Are the current clips okay or should we continue to ask for new clips? Battle Cat balances okay on the clips, so Panthor will, although I'm not sure what will happen with future beast figures.

Also, what about Mattel including a special flight stand in the package if we get a MOTUC Wind Raider or other flying vehicle?

I mentioned this to Toy Guru at the past Con, but not about flight stands for beast, which does look awesome by the way, but taller flight stands, like in the comic con display case. Stratos is soaring in the sky above the action, not just barely hovering above the ground. I would like a taller flight stand or one that is adjustable in height so some could hover while others fly. Its sad they don't even use their own products for the display, due to them not being good enough to simulate flight. Why should we settle for anything less.
